Cesar Manrique Milla – Président

César joined the Expatries club in 2014. For a long time he was exclusively a “pool” swimmer that enjoyed an occasional open water competition. Triathlon has given him the opportunity to know the joys (and sufferings) of running and cycling.

Competing in her first M distance in 2014, Louise has gradually built on this experience and in 2016 she completed her first L distance race. One of her goals for 2017 is to focus on improving the running.. (*exotic climates preferable).

Caroline Mehigan

Caroline joined the club in September 2015. A runner at heart and new to Paris, she joined the club as they looked like a fun group of people and decided to give the swimming and cycling a “tri” too. A social cyclist and a holiday swimmer she had a lot to learn in the pool and on the bike. Two years later, she has been convinced that combining the sports is more fun! The mix of training is great, especially training at Cergy and discovering the Brick sessions. In 2017 Caroline decided the L distance is her favourite and cycling holidays are the way forward! In the 2018 season she hopes to improve on the bike and take more cycling trips to discover France.

Alexandra Messager

In the spirit of Expatries, Alexandra is mostly and before all a world citizen. She worked or travelled over more than 50 countries. Challenge enthousiastic and always looking to be out of her confort zone in her life, she jumped into triathlon late in 2015 and completly become addicted after her first 70.3 in Dubai 2 months later. Alexandra completed her first Ironman 140.6 in Nice in July 2017. “You can make everything with passion , perseverance, strong trust & believe on yourself.

She is supporting Expatries on social media. She is also looking to develop/promote women ascension into long distance triathlon.

Tom Scott

Comes from a running background originally before joining the team in 2015. Tom was looking to improve his cycling and swimming performance to contribute to improved triathlon times. Tom has partaken in all triathlon distances and completed his first Ironman in 2016.

James Dyrda

After building experience in open water swimming and running, James completed his first triathlon in his native UK in 2014. Upon moving to Paris later that year and discovering ‘real’ cycling, he returned from a triathlon hiatus to join the team in 2016. In the following 2017 season, he competed in multiple distance competitions, including his first marathon and L distance triathlon. His goals for the future are to improve his performance in the cycle and run disciplines, and to continue to survive every swim.

Chris Smith

Chris joined the club in 2016 after moving to Paris having originally taken up triathlon at University in the UK. Since then he has competed in a broad range of events, from Super Sprint to Ironman triathlons, a variety of different running and cycling events and even the very occasional swim if he has to! The main focus going forward is to explore Europe by finding interesting events, and improve overall performance.
